Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, laid into his players after their FA Cup ended at Molineux last weekend. Solskjaer was unhappy with his side’s display, in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Wolves on Saturday night. Speaking to reporters after the game, the Norwegian admitted it was “the poorest since I’ve come here”. He also lamented the side’s lack of speed and intensity with the ball, stating: “Our possession wasn’t bright enough and quick enough.” But according to the UK Sun, United’s players felt the full force of Solskjaer’s wrath in the dressing room. It is claimed he criticized their display with similar remarks, accusing stars of going back to the early days of the campaign under Jose Mourinho. Solskjaer furiously told stars to analyse their displays during the inte...

Nemanja Matic has backed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to get Manchester United back on track after consecutive defeats and wants the crowd favourite to remain as manager for the long term. United lost 2-1 to Wolves in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Saturday, six days on from the first domestic defeat of Solskjaer’s tenure at Arsenal in the Premier League. They remain well placed in a top-four battle they looked set to observe from a distance during the final days of Jose Mourinho’s reign, while the Champions League quarter-final draw has thrown up a mouth-watering showdown with Barcelona. However, the honeymoon period for Solskjaer appears to be well and truly over and the prospect of another trophyless season for the club is now a distinct possibility. Despite United’s recent wobble, Matic is still...

Manchester United’s FA Cup quarter-final defeat by Wolves is a “big step backwards”, says interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Wolves dominated a lacklustre United in a convincing 2-1 victory at Molineux. It is the first time United have lost back-to-back games since Solskjaer replaced Jose Mourinho in December, having also been beaten by Arsenal in the Premier League last Sunday. “This was the poorest we’ve played,” Solskjaer told BBC Sport. “We started too slowly and played into their hands. Our possession wasn’t bright enough and quick enough, so it’s disappointing.” The visitors created little of note until Marcus Rashford’s 95th-minute consolation goal and needed several fine saves from Sergio Romero to deny Wolves before Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota scored in quick succession. “I did...

Manchester United interim manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has criticised his side’s attacking play, after Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard struggled in the FA Cup defeat to Wolve on Saturday. United registered one of their worst displays since Solskjaer took over from Jose Mourinho and after a poor first half, they fell behind following goals from Raul Jimenez and Diogo Jota. Rashford struck a late consolation in injury time, but it wasn’t enough to rescue United, who crashed out of the competition at the quarter-final stage. The Red Devils have now suffered back-to-back defeats under Solskjaer for the first time. And the Norwegian admits United did not have “enough quality” in their attacking third and was unhappy with the link-up play between his three forward players. “We started too sl...

Manchester United’s first Premier League loss under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the “lowest” moment since he took charge, the interim manager said. Solskjaer has turned the team’s form around since taking over in December, following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. The Norwegian has overseen a run of 10 league wins and two draws before suffering defeat at Arsenal on Sunday. Solskjaer told BBC Sport: “The performance was good but the result was disappointing.” The former striker has brought a feel-good factor back to United with results that mean they are in the fight for a Champions League spot at the end of the season, as well as reaching the quarter-finals in Europe and the FA Cup. Such has been the turnaround there have been growing calls from players and supporters to give Solskjaer the job o...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted he always wanted to be Manchester United manager. Solskjaer has impressively helped turn United’s season around, guiding the club to 14 wins from 17 matches, since replacing Jose Mourinho on an interim basis in December. The Norwegian, who is now tipped to become United’s full-time manager, told Sky Sports: “I think I’ve been secretly always wanting to do the job I’m doing now. “And I probably believed more that I could be a football coach and a manager than a player, because it took me a few years to get to the level I wanted to be as a player. Solskjaer won six Premier League titles during his playing days at Old Trafford and scored the winner for United to secure the Champions League in 1999. The post PREMIER LEAGUE!

Jose Mourinho says Manchester United’s “phenomenal” Champions League victory against Paris Saint-Germain is testament to the impact his successor Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has enjoyed. United became the first team in the history of the European Cup to overturn a 2-0 first-leg home deficit as Marcus Rashford’s stoppage-time VAR penalty sealed a memorable comeback in Paris on Wednesday. Mourinho’s former side are through to the quarter-finals of Europe’s top-tier competition for the first time in five years and he was full of praise for the Norwegian caretaker boss. “In terms of players, I was immediately thinking about [Dusan] Tadic, because he was a key player in that amazing match,” Mourinho said. “But I think independent of the performances, Ajax and Manchester United results are phenomenal r...

Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel, was left unimpressed by Manchester United’s tactics, as they were eliminated from the Champions League on Wednesday night. United secured an unlikely 3-1 victory at the Parc des Princes to go through to the quarter-finals on away goals, thanks to a 94th minute Marcus Rashford penalty. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men finished the match with just 28% possession, having scored their three goals from four shots on target. Tuchel was clearly frustrated after the contest arguing that he “never had the impression that Manchester United wanted to win” the match. “After the second goal, we controlled the match, we played with a lot of quality. “We react well to the first goal we gave them. We had a lot of chances but we did not score the second or the third. “...

Romelu Lukaku believes there is “no doubt” Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be made Manchester United manager on a permanent basis after leading the club into the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2014. Marcus Rashford’s stoppage-time penalty and a double from Romelu Lukaku gave United a sensational 3-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes that sent them through on away goals. It means United have won 14 of 17 matches since Solskjaer succeeded Jose Mourinho, while losing just once, and Lukaku has no doubt the Norwegian will be in charge next season. “I know he’s going to stay, there’s no doubt about that,” he told Viasport. “He wants to stay, the players want him to stay. We’re doing really well, we’re playing like Manchester United should play. “He’s a ...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insisted Manchester United can “go all the way” in the Champions League after his side’s historic 3-1 win at Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday. Having been written off in their last-16 tie after a 2-0 first-leg defeat to the French champions three weeks ago, United became the first team in Champions League history to qualify for the next round having lost the first leg of a knockout match at home by two or more goals, sensationally beating PSG 3-1 at the Parc des Princes to progress on away goals. Two goals from Romelu Lukaku and a late, controversial Marcus Rashford penalty sent United through to the quarter-finals for the first time in five seasons, with an elated Solskjaer adamant there is even more to come from his side. “We always believed,” Solskjaer said. “The pl...
